To mount the elliptical trainer, firmly hold the handle
bars and carefully step onto the pedal that is in the
lowest position. Next, step onto the other pedal. Pushthe pedals until they begin to move with a continuous
motion. 
Note: The pedal disks can turn in either
direction. It is recommended that you turn thepedal disks in the direction shown by the arrow
below; however, for variety, you may turn the
pedal disks in the opposite direction. 
To dismount the elliptical trainer, allow the pedals to
come to a complete stop. 
Note: The elliptical trainer
does not have a free wheel; the pedals will contin
ue to move until the flywheel stops. 
When the ped

exercise to your
workouts. As  youexercise, push
and pull the han
dlebars to work
your arms, shoul
ders, and back. 
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE 
To increase the
resistance of the
pedals, turn the
resistance knob
clockwise; to
decrease the resis
tance, turn the
knob counterclockwise. 
Important: Stop turning the knob when turn
ing becomes difficult, or damage may result.
FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The easytouse console is designed to help you get
the most from your workouts. As you exercise, the
console will display the following modes:
Time—This mode displays the elapsed time (or the
time remaining in a pace program). Note: If you stop
pedaling, the time will begin to flash.
Distance—This mode displaysthe distance that you
have pedaled.
Calories—This mode displays the approximate num

Fat calories—This mode displays the approximate
number of fat calories you have burned (see FAT

Pulse—This mode displays your heart rate when you
use the pulse sensor.
Speed—This mode displays your pedaling speed.
Scan—When this mode is selected, the upper section
of the display will show both the time mode and the
distance mode, and the lower left section of the display will show the calories mode and the fat caloriesmode.

Program button
repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, or 4 appears
in the upper right corner of the display. 
The four profiles on the right side of the console
show how the target pace will change during the
programs. For example, profile number 1 showsthat during program 1, the target pace will
increase near the beginning of the program, and
then decrease near the end.
Start the program.
To start the program, begin pedaling. Each pro
gram consists of either 20 or 30 oneminute peri
ods. One target pace is programmed for eachperiod. (The same target pace setting may be
programmed for consecutive periods.)
The target pace
settings for the
program will beshown by the
target pace
indicator in the
display. (Thepace indicator
will show your
actual pedalingpace.) As thetarget pace indicator changes in height during the
program, adjust your pedaling pace so that both
indicators are the same height. If your pedaling
pace is slower than the current target pace setting, an arrow will appear next to the pace indica
tors to prompt you to increase your pace; if your
pace is faster than the target pace, an arrow willprompt you to decrease your pace.
Important: The target pace settings for the
program are intended only to provide a goal.
Your actual pace may be slower than the tar
get pace settings, especially during the first
few months of your exercise program. Makesure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable
for you. 
During the program, adjust the resistance of the
pedals as desired by turning the resistance knob.
The display will show the time remaining in the
program. If you continue exercising after the pro
gram is completed, the display will continue to
show your exercise feedback.
Follow your progress with the display.
